I use emojis in all of my d.tube title posts, not because I lack respect for myself or the English language, but because I find that it catches the eye, and most of my video content is playful and not particularly serious. Though in a sense, I suppose that your assessment is spot-on. I use smileys because I don't take myself too seriously and I dabble in humor as a means to self-deprecate. It's the easiest way to brush off criticism before it even hits I suppose. Is it healthy? Meh. Does it make me a bad writer? Not necessarily. Then again, how many Faulkner's are really on Steemit? Is that why people are really here?

Like you, I hope to grow on this platform and eventually amass a small investment for myself. I would like to make a living here in the not-so-distant future. I have figured out the things that I can do well, and I try to hyper-focus on those things. I also have limited time, so I have to consider that as well. Perhaps that is something to consider when analyzing anyone's writing on Steemit. I would venture to guess there are thousands of talented writers on here that would sit and write thoughtful, well-written masterpieces if Steemit could compensate them right away. But it takes a lot of time to build yourself on here, and from what I have seen, it takes a combo of well-written posts and quicker-released content in order to maintain a daily presence. I have therefore committed to making one fun off-the-cuff video a day, yet also pour some time into something more meaningful, maybe every other day. Anyway, this was a long-winded response to a simple point, that you can't judge a writer by their use of smilies! :) :) :)

(I'm a pretty hardcore Libertarian, but I also have a bit of basic bitch in me, so I just can't help it.) Anyway, interesting observations nonetheless!

I enjoyed reading your comment Beth and if you make money with your writing then you fucking make money with it (however it is formatted).

Have a nice day.
